33. Can a truly enlightened person call his path the best path and judge & criticize others gurus or enlightened beings ?

In last 3 – 4 years i have met many gurus who have a huge following ( lakhs  of followers ) and are at the level of sadhguru s. These are the people who have talked about their enlightenment in books or interviews. A few of these gurus openly criticized and judged other enlightened gurus (who also have a huge following) in a very negative way , compared their path to their paths and said that their path is the best path and they know better than anyone else.

Now my question to all of you is that if someone is truly enlightened then can he say that his path is the best path and criticize and judge others and say that he knows better than others or he is the only one who knows about meditation and spirituality and kundalini shakti and no one else knows anything. All others are fake and he is only true guru.

I remember reading in Ekhart Tolle books that comparison , trying to prove yourself right and others wrong, judging and criticizing others is all an act of ego and i also agree with him. We are taught from the very beginning in the spiritual path that dont judge others ….look within yourself and work on your own faults.

The moment you say that your path is the best path , you know better than others and try to prove others wrong and yourself right then your ego has come in the picture. If you are not aware of your own ego and if you cannot see your own ego then are you truly enlightened ?
